Peter Pan: The Unspoken Truth

Entry #30

September 16, 1920
Wendy Darling

MORNINGS became Wendy's worst part of the day including midnight. It was the time when she felt her guts rumble with each other as her mind call out for the toilet to release all of it out.

However, today was different. Maagang nagising si Wendy para yakapin ang sinag ng araw, at nakangiti itong pumunta sa banyo para maghilamos.

Ilang sandali rin ay bumaba na si Wendy ng hagdanan para kamustahin ang nagluluto sa kusina niyang Ina.

"Good morning, Mommy," she sweetly greeted, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"You're quite early?" Hindi rin maipagkakaila ni Mrs. Darling ang kanyang kasiyahan dahil bumubuti na ang pakiramdam ng anak.

Tumango si Wendy sa Ina at ganadong ipinuwesto na ang sarili sa hapag-kainan.

"I miss Michael and John," she blurted out while staring blankly at the table napkins.

Mrs. Darling heard Wendy's low remark as she was placing the freshly baked bread and butter on the table. "Do you want to wake them up?"

Lumiwanag ang buong mukha ni Wendy nang sinabi 'yon ng kanyang Ina. Kaagad siyang tumayo para puntahan ang kanyang mga kapatid.

Every thud of her feet on the stairs was reciprocating the drumbeats of Wendy's heart as she climb the stairs up to her brother's room. She really missed her naughty brothers, how they used to laugh around telling pirate jokes in dinner.

She stopped near the door, before knocking slowly on the old dark brown colored door of the room.

No one answered.

"They couldn't still be sleeping at this hour, are they?" wika niya sabay katok ulit ng pinto.

"They have been lazy while I was sick." Napabuntong-hininga nalang ang dalaga bago pinuntahang muli ang kanyang Ina sa kusina.

Padabog at nakasimangot na hinarap ni Wendy si Mrs Darling dahilan para matawa ang Ginang.

"What's with that face, sweety?" she said, trying to suppressed her laughter in the most graceful way possible.

Nginuso ni Wendy ang kanyang likuran kung nasaan ang hagdanan. "They won't answer me," she snapped, rolling her eyes in the process.

Hindi na napigalan pa ni Mrs. Darling ang kanyang tawa dahil sa reaksyon ng anak. Malumanay niyang tinapik ang balikat ng panganay na anak habang patagong hinahalughog ang maliit na kalsunsilyo malapit sa lutuan ng kusina, kung saan nakapaloob ang mga susi ng bahay.

"I know it was here somwhere," pagsasalita ni Mrs. Darling sa sarili.

"Got it," wika niya sabay lingon kay Wendy na nakasimangot pa rin.

"Here, open the door and wake those boys now. I don't want you all to get late for class." Pagbibigay ni Mrs. Darling ng susi kay Wendy.

Ngumiti si Wendy dito, inayos ang kanyang tayo at parang sundalong sumaludo sa Ina. "Aye, aye, Mommy!" she said hurriedly climbing up the stairs.
